Poxy things. A while ago I fitted new cables and drive pulley to the mechanism in SWMBO's 2002 Ford Galaxy.
Yesterday it self-destructed again, leaving the drivers window fully open. I had to go out in the dark and pull the door card off so I could cut some pieces of wood to length to hold the glass up in the closed position.
Looking back through ebay correspondence it is almost 2 years to the day since I bought the last repair kit
I was just about to book the thing in for an MOT but I have a nagging doubt that it might fail if the drivers window cannot be opened
Last time it happened it was a royal pain in the arse operating barriers on multi-storey car parks
This time I will buy a kit including new runners etc assembled and ready to fit (not fit new cables to the old runners).
Does anyone have any experience of Shalahambra (Sharan/Galaxy/Alhambra) window regulators? can anyone recommend a particular make for the replacement?
Genuine appear to cost about £105, pattern £25-£30. If they are all the same crap design as the VAG original then I don't see any point in buying anything but the cheapest......
